I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Brandon Anthony Gonzales got East Side 13 tattooed on his face as a way to represent his gang affiliation.  It doesn’t seem like much of a stretch, considering that 13 is connotative of MS-13, the Mexican gang taking America by storm at the moment.  Either way, he’s living proof that getting facial tattoos is a bad idea if you want to live a life of crime, because his mustache tattoo lead to his arrest for a robbery.

Brandon was one of several men to commit a home invasion in Pueblo, Colorado.  Strangely enough, they were robbing an Elvis impersonator.  Not sure why they’d rob him, but anyway, that’s who they robbed.  Brandon wisely covered his face with a ski mask, but ski masks generally don’t also cover the mouth.  Brandon’s most distinctive features, his goatee-tattoo hybrid, was visible the entire time.

When police went around looking for suspects, they just had to bust the guy with a painted on word-mustache.  That was probably an easy arrest to make.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
